🌟 Lost Sonadow Fic Hunt – Old-School 2000s Explicit Edition! Help a Fellow Hedgehog Fan Out 🌟
Hey Sonadow/Sonic yaoi fandom (especially the veterans from the mid-2000s)! I'm desperately trying to track down a specific explicit fanfic I read as a teen, probably posted sometime between 2000–2007. It was in English, from Shadow's POV, and had that classic yaoi vibe with bets, temporary slavery, collars, and a delicious dominance reversal at the end. What I remember about the plot: Shadow loses a bet to Sonic while playing cards. Loser has to be the winner's "slave" for exactly 24 hours. Next day, Shadow shows up at Sonic's place. Sonic has a spiked dog collar (like punk/metal spikes) ready, puts it on Shadow expecting to humiliate him. But instead of instant kink dungeon stuff, they go out on a leash/collar walk around the city together. They end up at a park with a lake. Something goes wrong there (maybe a near-drowning or accident?), one saves the other (can't recall who), and Tails says something heartfelt to Shadow like: "Sonic cares about you/esteems you more than you think" or "Sonic values you more than you realize." Night falls, they head back to Sonic's house. Sonic finally snaps, starts passionately kissing Shadow. Takes him to the bedroom, ties him to the bed (bondage), they get intimate—starts with frotting/grinding. Right at midnight (24 hours up), Shadow breaks the restraints, flips the script, becomes the dominant/top, and has penetrative sex with Sonic. It felt like a one-shot or short multi-chapter thing, super explicit/lemon. I think I originally read it on Yahoo Groups, GeoCities fan pages, or maybe an early LiveJournal community (possibly something like SonicYaoi or Sonadow-specific). Could've migrated to FF.net later but got deleted during purges. Does this ring ANY bells?? Title? Author? Even a similar fic or the group name? If you were around in the Yahoo Groups/GeoCities era or have old bookmarks/saved .txt files, please share! 🙏💙🖤 No judgment—it's all nostalgic fun. Reblog/signal boost if you can, or drop clues in replies/DMs!
